IN THE NEWS
ARTICLE22 and our partners at Legacies of War were recently profiled by five-time Emmy award winning broadcast journalist Mike Walter.
Collaborations are at the core of what we do, and this piece highlights the intersections of our work in partnership with Legacies and Mines Advisory Group.
Legacies' motto, History, Healing, Hope, rings true and guides all that we do in supporting resilient artisans and deminers clearing the remnants of war from their land in Laos.
This news story features three videos, linked on this page, which provide in-depth looks at the work of Legacies of War, MAG, and A22 in addressing the legacy of the American Secret War in Laos.
In the piece, Sera Koulabdara and Elizabeth Suda discuss their journeys into this work and the ways tangible outcomes guide our shared mission.
Watch all three videos and check out the full piece here.
"The journey ahead is really long, it's a big mountain to climb, but I'm reminded and motivated by the fact that the view at the top is going to be a safer Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam for millions of people."
- Sera Koulabdara, Legacies of War CEO

DESTROYING CLUSTER MUNITIONS
JOIN THE JOURNEY.
We invite you to be part of this powerful collaboration by purchasing a set of ARTICLE 22 prayer beads. Wear them as a symbol of your commitment to peace, a reminder that transformation starts within.
Together, through this collaboration, we can turn the remnants of conflict into symbols of peace, reminding the world that true peace begins within each of us. The launch of this campaign is further amplified by the release of Forging Peace: The Transformation Behind ARTICLE 22, a short documentary available on CORE, as part of the CORE ONE Global Initiative, highlighting the powerful journey of turning destruction into a force for good.
Purchasing a set of ARTICLE 22 prayer beads is more than just acquiring a unique piece of jewelry; it’s a statement of support. Not only does every sale directly contribute to the CORE ONE campaign and its initiatives promoting inner peace and global harmony, but a share of all sales also goes to support MAG (Mines Advisory Group).
